Is it true that some areas of the globe will be cooler than normal this year and, if so, is global warming cancelled for 2008?

If true, would that mean that we may all get a rebate from all those environmental taxes which have been heaped upon us of late?

The money would be most welcome, I'm sure, to all us taxpayers as everything keeps going up and, anyway, I'm not sold on this idea of global warming. I think it is just a natural phenomenon.

The powers-that-be are just putting the frighteners on us as an excuse to screw out of us more of our hard-earned cash.
